Can you still get pregnant with endometriosis???

[poetgirl1979]

I was just wondering, there is a good chance I have endometriosis. I have had fibroids in the past. Me and hubby trying to get pregnant, can I still get pregnant with endometriosis??? Anyone dealt with this??? It is SO hard, right now, my cousin, my sister-in-law and two of my friends are all expecting. I'm so depressed over this. Please help!!! =( Me and hubby been married almost 7 years (next month). I'm 26, so I was only 19 when I got married and didn't want kids at first. Hubby is 28.  We've been trying for a month or so. But it's discouraging knowing so many who are pregnant now, and not being one of them. I want to be happy for them, but I find myself jealous.  Isn't that HORRIBLE???!!!  My periods have been regular since I've been off the pill for a few months.  So what's the deal?? Also, another question, any tips to help fertility???  And when I do know when I'm ovulating exactly???
Thanks!!!

Its hard getting pregnant with endo.  Ive been dx; with endo., not fun with the painful cramps etc.,  Plus when you want to get pregnant and its been over 4 years now i still cant get pregnant.  Ive miscarried and tried all the time with my hubby to make another child. Taking my bbt, ovulation calculator, strips etc., medications nothing is working for me either.  Its sad and I know it hurts.  Everyone that I know is getting pregnant.  All you have to do is tell yourself I will be a mommy soon!  By the end of this year nothing happens go do ivf.  Thats what Im going to be doing in europe this christmas.  Hopefully i will be pregnant. I know how everyone feels...its difficult and its painful.. Just believe in yourself and it does take time.  But if you are impatient like me go do IVF.  Hopefully that will make a miracle happen!

I had my first lap at age 16 and my second this last December.  I was told that if I wanted to have kids we needed to start right away.  My endometrosis might affect my fertility because I am 26 and have had this for such a long time.  I started Clomid in January and did succeed at getting pregnant.  I was so happy that on the first try we got pregnant.  But on valentines day I found out that I had miscarried.  They said a lot of people miscarry and to try again and it probably wouldnt happen again.  At the end of March I found out that I was pregnant again.  I had not taken the Clomid since I had gotten pregnant so fast in January and once you miscarry the next 3 months are the easiest to get pregnant.  2 days before my birthday in April I found I had miscarried again.  This time as soon as I had found out that I was pregnant I was already in the process of the miscarriage.  They ran tests and they think that it is my progesterone.  So I have been taking Clomid at the start of my cycle.  And progesterone the week of when I am suppose to find out if I am pregnant.  I have had no luck.  I am starting to get discouraged.  I cant stop thinking of the miscarriages and I cant stop thinking about getting pregnant again.  I am afraid that if I dont take clomid then my body wont have the progesterone that it needs.  And if I just take progesterone it can cause me not to get pregnant.  Because it tells your body that it is already pregnant.  Is there anyone that is going through anything like this?  I could really use some advice.

I just wanted to say that it gives me such a great feeling to read everyone's comments.  To be able to see so many women that understand the one condition that so many don't makes me want to actually cry.  I am also trying to get pregnant with having a severe case of endo, and I know it's only been 8 months since I've been off the shots and trying, but it still can be discouraging.  Reading everyone's postings has helped me with some questions that I have had so to all of you THANK YOU!

I have had endometriosis for as long as I can remember and a very severe case... many lap surgeries and many meds......
I was told I wouldn't be able to get pregnant and if I did I wouldn't be able to carry to term.  Well, I went off the pill last Nov, was pregnant by Dec and has a beautiful little girl in Sept of 06. Yes it was a hard pregnancy but that had nothing to do with the endo.  It's possible.....
Good luck to you.
